Their food is very good and the service as well. This is our third time here and it was as good as always. The place was packed, but they were ready to serve us quickly and with a great attitude. Highly recommended!

This is absolutely the BEST Mexican restaurant not just in the area but in the state! The owners and staff are amazing and care about what they serve and how they serve it. I’m extremely picky when it comes to food, and a restaurant of this caliber is unheard of in this area (sadly). So if you’re in the area this is a must stop. Everything I’ve ever tried has been fabulous and the margaritas are delicious, and a welcome addition given you can’t get liquor by the glass in neighboring Stewart County!

I wholeheartedly entered this establishment, not expecting much. Mexican food out on the outskirts of Tennessee. I was wrong. This place had fresh pork, and it tasted great. Everyone reading this knows what it’s like to have pork with that refrigerator taste. Not here. Beans and rice were decent. The salsa for the chips tasted 3/5 or better. We were overly impressed with the quality of the food and service. From now on, that will be our go-to spot for every trip going that way.

Portions are huge. Food is great! If they’re busy it may take a minute but it’s worth the wait!

Awesome restaurant with authentic food. Definitely the best in the area. I grew up in Colorado and since moving to Tennessee, it has been a struggle to find good Mexican food. The owner is super friendly, as is are the waitresses. We have never had bad service nor food there. Just when I think I have a favorite dish, I decide to try something new and find another. We dine here regularly and take out even more often from there when we just don’t feel like going out.

Five adults and five kids. Everyone liked their food — and margaritas. Could use a little entertainment for the kids, maybe crayons and placemats.
